The iCloud Goes Ooops!

With the sudden excitement over the "hacking" of private pictures of celebrities from the Apple iCloud, it seems that people are coming out of the clouds and being surprised about how data processing really works. Sure enough the CLOUD is just a bunch of computers with a bunch of storage being controlled by a bunch of folks no brighter than anyone else. It's a business like any other with costs to control like any other.

Sure enough the "brilliant" gurus at Apple forgot to put simple code in their system to disable accounts after the user could not sign on a number of times. A simple human error, everyone makes them. There is no magic in the cloud. Whether the cloud is the Amazon cloud, the Google cloud, the Apple cloud, or anyone else's; your data in in the hands of hundreds of strangers working boring jobs watching for hardware glitches during long nights and weekends. Think they look around?

At Safefunds, there is no cloud. Our members' information is kept on our own servers under our control. That doesn't mean we are exempt form hacker attacks; but it does mean, we know exactly who has access to our information in our data center at all times. It sure cuts the risk. There's a reason we stay off the clouds. Our members prefer us to be down to earth.

International Member Advantages

We thank our growing family of Safefunds members from 105 countries. Safefunds now is able to deliver home currencies around the world through the facilities of our latest banking partner, US Bank. This new relationship allows our members outside the USA to enjoy significant savings on exchange rates when making a withdrawal. By selecting to receive funds in local currency, our members take advantage of our wholesale foreign currency buying power to maximize the funds our members receive.

New Relationship

Safefunds is proud to announce our new relationship with National City-PNC. We are constantly evaluating our existing banking relationships to be sure, in these unusual times, our members are protected as completely as possible. In the next few weeks Safefunds will transition our daily deposit accounts to National City-PNC.

Besides this fine banking partner, Safefunds will hold excess operating funds in U.S. Government securities and at other financial institutions within the FDIC limits.

Now, more than ever, Safefunds is the safest, most secure way to make purchases, sell products or services, and complete transactions on the web.

Across the Finish Line

On Sunday, July 13, 2008 Safefunds crossed a very important mark. The Safefunds transactions that closed on Sunday brought our total closed transaction count for 2008 equal to the entire year of 2007. It's the growing community of Safefunds' members that has made this kind of growth possible. We expect to more than double our volume this year compared to last and we are on track to do so. While we are excited about our growth, we are absolutely committed to maintaining the high level of personal member service that the Safefunds family expects and deserves.

Indy 500 Time in our Hometown

It's race time in Indianapolis, the home of the Indianapolis 500 and Safefunds.com. Everyone here enjoys welcoming visitors from around the world to our city. Of course, we are reminded of another great way to use a Safefunds membership. Safefunds is the perfect method for buying and selling high value tickets to sporting events and concerts. With the Safefunds system, our buying members know that the tickets are exactly as promised and valid BEFORE they release their money. Our selling members know that the payment they receive for the tickets is absolutely guaranteed. Both buyer and seller are totally protected. Use Safefunds the next time and be protected.
